Notes

'Madeira' canna (Canna 'Madeira') is a perennial for borders, containers, and accents. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, loamy or clay soil. Hummingbirds and birds visit the flowers, which open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn.

Pairs well with Swamp milkweed, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Culver’s root.
